Wants and NeedsBy Hayley Brabson

The difference between a want and a needA want is something

that is nice to have, but you really don’t have to have it to live. Some examples of wants are: toys, candy, a car and a pet.

A need is something you would die without. Some examples of needs are: food, water and shelter.

How to get wants and needsTo purchase wants and needs you must have

money. This is why it is important to save money.

When you have money it is most important to purchase your needs first. Then with the money left over you can purchase your wants.

The bankTo help us learn about wants and needs we

will be making banks to keep on our desks. For good behavior, good grades, winning

games and other positive actions you will receive a quarter.

At the end of the week you will be able to trade your quarters in to purchase your needs. Then with the leftover money you can buy your wants.

The purposeAt the end of this lesson I hope that you will

be able to know how to save money and the difference between wants and needs.

To help you do this we will play games and do different activities.
